===== From jknepley@chisp.net: This image looks very real. Great job. ===== From agage@csee.usf.edu: Very nice! ===== From edi@home.com: great textures ===== From xeo@home.com: a very very good picture. The one plant in the forground looks a little flat though. You can do some cool looking plants in bryce, check out the how the ones in the object library are made. ===== From manorton@tcnet.net: THis is one of the best Bryce images I have sene. Good job. Nice texture, nice composition, nice everything. ===== From jerry@hoboes.com: Beautiful clouds in the foreground. I think perhaps a little more water in the scene--with that much water coming down on land this parched, perhaps we should see some runoff? Plants are a bit stiff compared to the realism of the cracked earth and the rock towers. Evocative choice of scenery, however. ===== From Sean_Hamilton@amrcorp.com: The cracked ground looks great and there's a nice contrast of colors. ===== From gregj56590@aol.com: Nice theme: water in the desert! Nice mudcracks, nice rain in the distance. Grass works well for a 2D image. ===== From vogelap@email.uc.edu: I like the depth and variety in this pic. ===== From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de: A very nice one! The proportions of the foreground and the canyon(?) and the terrain in the background are not totally clear. ===== From johnson@pharmacy.arizona.edu: Guess everyone's gotta go through a 'make everything transparent' phase. ===== From jaime@ctav.es: Really Dry! ===== From Varyk@aol.com: I may be totally wrong, but I believe that rock towers like these origion= ate from ancient lava shafts and don't have diagonal strata like upheaval= rifts and mountain ranges do. I think that the far cliff behind the rai= n wouldn't be getting much sunlight, so the shadows in the texture wouldn= 't be so pronounced. Great desert floor and cracked earth. ===== From djohnston@iname.com: I think you did a nice job at giving the cloud and rain an atual presence, distiguishing it from the rest of the scene. It offers a nice contrast to the dryland in the foreground of the image, ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: Exquisite. This is a very fine snapshot, oops I mean rendering . ===== From ethelm@bigfoot.com: Nice picture, like something from'Arizona Highways' magazine. It stands out as artistic and realistic.
